Orlando shooter's father attends Hillary Clinton rally in Florida

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Hillary Clinton spoke to a crowd in Kissimmee, just south of Orlando. She was supposed to be talking jobs, but started the speech
off paying tribute to those affected by the Pulse Nightclub shooting.

"I know how many people, families, loved ones, and friends are still grieving, and we will be with you as you rebuild your lives."

WPTV happened to notice the man, who has a mustache and was wearing a red hat, behind Clinton. It was Seddique Mateen , the father of Orlando mass
shooter Omar Mateen.

Never has there been a better encapsulation of the progressive left's ironic dissent into liberal dysfunctionalism than this...

Progressives, help me understand you....
Radical Muslims are good....what's that you say? They want to genocidally exterminate the gays?
hmm....well, maybe they are simply expressing their culture....

Can you imagine if the father of a terrorist who murdered so many homosexuals being featured(directly over her shoulder) at a Trump rally?

And before the liberals jump to defend this cretin let me remind of what he said since the horrendous crime perpetrated by his progeny: The elder
Mateen says "I was saddened by my son's actions during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and that God will punish those involved in homosexuality,"
saying it's, "not an issue that humans should deal with."

The more important question Democrats should be asking this morning is why would the father of a radical Islamic sociopath be drawn to a party of
Hillary Clinton?
I can tell you that someone who said any of the things he said would not be welcome within 100 feet of me and were he to show up at a rally I would
see to it he was escorted out because his love of the Taliban and his yearning for the genocide of the homosexual population of the earth is not in
line with the thinking of my party or America…
It is forever perplexing to me the Democrats coddle and seek out the approval of Islamic radicals and their "religion" which is long since bereft of
humanity..

If a magic moon God exists in the sky I doubt he would've picked the 7th century sociopathic pedophilic warlord to be his mouthpiece but that's just
me…

So how about it liberals: convince me why the father of a sociopathic maniac bent on eradicating homosexuality is welcome at your rallies…
A man who has said he supports the Taliban and believes that if you kill gays(especially during Ramadan) God will sort them out but he(magic moon God)
would prefer u not do it during their magic month...

Obama, Hillary - hell, almost the entire left - commit ethical offenses, commit provable crimes, wear sleeveless dresses with their male shoulders on
display (have you seen THOSE pictures? Holy crap) and rub it all in America's collective face saying basically, "What are you gonna do about it?
Nothing."

Will the media take Hillary to task? Will they demand
she disavow this mans hateful ideas? Will they play
these demands over and again for weeks on the news?

Whatever else he said, which is based on his religion (he said God would take care of what is considered a sin and people should not- pretty standard
for any religion), he said he loves the US and that his son should have joined the US Army to fight ISIS.

The barrel scraping has, I think, has removed the bottom of the barrel entirely.

I guess having a gay sibling makes me somewhat terrified of a Stone Age religion who would see my sibling put to death…
So forgive me if I'm a little scared about the left's embracing of this ridiculous political ideology masked as a "religion"...

Maybe you liberals could practice what you preach and actually defend the rights of those who are oppressed…
Oppressed by millions of Islamists who view my wife's brain as a shadow of mine and my siblings sexuality as a perversity and a sin to be
punished...

The progressive's hypocracy would be comical were it not so tragic ...

If Trump had him on stage at one of his rallies it would be the lead talking point of every single media outlet in the USA. The hypocrisy is
astounding.

The father did not break any laws. The father did not kill anyone.

He used his right as an American to attend the rally and it was his choice alone.

It's sad that his reputation is now tainted because of what his son did, and it's sad that people will use something like this to take partisan
political pot-shots.

Grow up people.

Exactly. I thought the whole point in our criminal justice system was that individuals are only responsible for their own legal infractions.

If we can place blame onto family members when a person commits an act of terrorism, can't we also do that for every other crime? So when someone goes
to jail for beating their spouse or for manslaughter, it's also on on the parents now? What about drug smuggling, DWI's, armed robberies, mass
shootings, or suicides? Or does this stipulation only apply to Muslims?

I don't disagree with you, but there's also absolutely no doubt in my mind that if this involved a similar situation at a Trump rally, the media and
the Hillary supporters would be running wild with it. It just looks bad. While the father certainly isn't guilty by association, its probably the
last visual that the Hillary campaign was hoping for to come from that rally.

Grow Up? You sound like HIllary Clinton. First they put the mother of a person who tried to kill a cop. PROVEN he tried to kill a cop on stage. Now,
they put the father of a person who shot 100 people less than 20 minutes away? ARE you kidding me.

He has rights. The right to continue to support the Taliban. The right to run for foreign office. The right to try to IGNORE the fact his son killed
all those people when he had to have known what was going on. He did not know about the house being signed over?

Trump called racist over a taco bowl and this is ok with all elected officials?

He was in the background on purpose for one thing only...the Muslim vote. She is a sick bitch...

The only thing I am pissed about is that I went up there yesterday and did not see this piece of garbage....cannot wait for the people Thursday when
Trump is in town. Maybe he will be back. Boy, I sure hope so.....
